Snapchat offers several fun filters and options to customize the pictures you send to friends and family. Although the pictures you send may only last momentarily, Snapchat gives you a way to save the pictures you take directly to your phone, to Snapchat servers through Snapchat Memories, or both.

Steps

Part 1

Choosing Your Save Method

1

Download the latest version of Snapchat. If you don't already have it installed, you can download Snapchat on your device from the App Store or Google Play.

Select Memories if you only want to save your photos to Snapchat Memories, a personalized album of your favorite Snaps and Stories that you can search and share. Click here to learn more about Memories.

Select Memories & Camera Roll if you want to save to both your Memories and your phone's Camera Roll.
